The Dollivers Bring in the Sheaves. And the apples. And squash. And green tomatoes. And broccoli

Today was the last farmshare day of the season. I thanked Jill S., the farmer, for another wonderful year of produce, and I'll email Amy, her daughter, who organizes and runs the CSA for the farm, to let her know all that work was worth it. Definitely signing up again next year.

So here are the Dollivers, with the last great bounty of the year. Not shown is the broccoli, processed and reposing in the freezer to keep it fresh.

Today, friend and local small contractor, Michael E., was finishing up a bit of exterior work for me, and I gave him a couple of snacks to take home. He's a great cook, always interested in what I cook.

I had made patties from Hubbard squash, from last week's farmshare, steamed till very tender, then mashed with some egg, tofu, and a bit of seasoning. The patties I rolled in an Indian spicy crispy snack thing, name unknown, which I crushed to crumbs. Then sauteed in a bit of olive oil. Very spicy, very good. Had them for lunch.

So a couple of them went home with Michael to try out. He's making zucchini lasagna tonight and I want the recipe if they like it.Neighborhood food exchange!
